Hero 10 a specimen OF war news as i,
runs now: France bought planks in AL
sace. The correspondents heard OF it and
scratched their heads in wonder. Wha,
could France want OF them? One lucky
man guessed it. 1t must be that France
intended to send an immense force to the
frontier. and the planks were to build huts
Tor tho soldiers. Presently the tramp OF
the marching soldiers could be heard in the
reports, and Germany was even demanding
OF France an explanation Of this move.

The Indiana Republicans are still kicking.
They can't give up Harrison. Although
they were in tho minority in the Lesisla-
ture, they hoped by trickery and corrup-
ton to retain him in the United States
Senate. But the Democrats remained firm
and gave judge Turpie a majority on joint
ballot. The latter will receive his certi6.
cate OF election from the Governor OF Indi-
ana. Harrison's strikers will now hold q
bogus convention and cast a minority vote
for him, hoping thus to make up some sort
OF . case for him before the United States
Senate. 1t is the last resort OF desperate
men.

Thirty-Six Hours Without Food.

Passengers who returned from Garrison
yesterday report that a carload of emf
grants arrived at that place Monday last
and were thirty-six. hours without food.
On learning this fact, the Butte ren raised
a subscription, amounting to $24, and ex-
pended it in purchasing provisions for the
emigrants. While the management OF the
Northern Pacific provides well supplied
dining-cars for first class travellers over the
line. it looks . little uncivilized to allow
smigrant poesehsers to starve within a
throw Of these dinine-cars during a
blockade.

Governor Hauser has appointed Mr..
Arthur c. Logan Superintendent OF Public
Instruction. The Governors appointment
OF Mr.. Logan was doubtless induced by the
eminent fitness Of the nan for the position
and because the eastern portion OF the
Territory desired further recognition in
the matter OF Territorial appointments.
TIE MINER is not disposed to grumbls or
ITO kick" but it cannot help remarkine
that the ignoring Of the West Side in the
matter Of legislative and Territorial ap.
pointees seems at this distance to be
studied. The Territory OF Helena" takes
the cake, bakery, delivery wagon and hired
girl in the matter Of political favors.
